EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Court of the Lions (Patio de los Leones)" from a collection of sketches and drawings of the Alhambra. Engraved by William Gauci in 1835, this lithograph captures the essence of Islamic architecture and Moorish design. The view depicted is from the Palace of Justice, offering a unique perspective on this magnificent courtyard. Built under Muhammad V's reign, this stunning masterpiece features intricate carvings, Nasrid motifs, and stilted arches that exemplify Andalucian craftsmanship. The central focus lies on the beautifully carved column adorned with lions at its base, which gives the court its name. In this image, individuals can be seen walking and talking as they stroll through the cloistered courtyard. The ambiance exudes tranquility as visitors leisurely explore every corner of Granada's iconic landmark. This engraving not only captures the physical beauty but also evokes a sense of history and cultural significance. It transports viewers to another era when Islamic art flourished in Spain. Displayed here is an exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection – part of The Stapleton Collection – ensuring that this remarkable artwork remains accessible for all to appreciate. As it falls into public domain status due to its age, it serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's ability to create enduring masterpieces that transcend time itself.
